== xinit shouldn't be used, the session isn't set up properly with it ==

+

I've noticed [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=Start_X_at_Login&diff=236755&oldid=235834 your edit] wrt xinit. If I understand it correctly, [[Xinitrc]] needs some cleanup, because it says ''It's time to run X. To run X as a non-root user, issue:

+

{{bc|

+

$ startx

+

$ xinit

+

$ xinit -- :1}}

+

[[Xfce]], [[Openbox]], [[KDE]] and some other articles also suggest using either startx or xinit.

: yeah, probably. I admit I don't know enough about X to tell exactly why/when you would ever want to use xinit directly, but there were multiple people on the forums who ran into permission problems because they didn't get a logind session with xinit. And I never heard anyone complain about startx, so I guess it's safe to just not mention xinit at all. [[User:65kid|65kid]] ([[User talk:65kid|talk]]) 20:06, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
